This fanfic was originally a complete work of about 26 chapters I'd had on a different account. It was my first fanfic I'd ever written and completed, and probably my longest. xD I'm redoing it now and submitting chapters when I can, after I've rewritten them. Sometimes I might go back through an already-submitted chapter and fix it is well so there's always some kind of update.

(special thanks to my friend Siri for encouraging me to keep rewriting this fic to make it better than before :D)

I will put the allegiances on my profile and inform readers when they are updated.

Anyways, hope you enjoy! c:

Chapter 1

A full moon loomed over a large forest, lighting up the darkened expanse. The wind blew from the north, sending chills to the creatures that were out. One such creature stepped out from the bushes that shield her from the cold night air.

The moon's light revealed the creature to be a young she-cat, with unusual black and white patterned fur and strange red eyes that shone eerily in the dark. Still somewhat sleepy, the cat carefully glanced around at her surroundings. She had decided to rest that afternoon in some bushes until the moon rose, she would then continue her journey north.

As she walked she sighed and looked up at the moon. Only a few days ago she had been happily spending her days with ThunderClan; hunting, patrolling, and telling stories of her journeys and old life. But their time together could only last so long. She had been sent to help the Clan find peace with themselves and others. That was her mission given to her by their warrior ancestors, known as StarClan.

But now her job was done, and they would not remember her thanks to the berries that she had given them. Every Clan cat living by the lake would not recall her ever being there, but they would remember her teachings, hopefully, to live by. She wished that she could have stayed; she rather liked living in the clan. But StarClan had given their answer when she had asked to stay. She remembered that night with great sorrow.

Lightly, she shook her head, not wanting to go into one of her states of sadness she went through, when the thoughts of her forgotten friends hit her mind. StarClan had made her promise that she would never go back, though they never explained why, stating that it was important that she left rather than stay. Never did the she-cat really understand StarClan's ways, though she had to trust them and what they had planned for her.

She was still young, and yet she had so much to live up to, to become something remarkably brilliant, in the ancestors' eyes. A lot she had given up to them trusting their guidance from day one, and yet she still had doubts…

"Do not fear, young Rainbowheart, for you shall become everything we've hoped for and more, once the new Clan has come into existence….."

The she-cat's ears pricked at the ghostly and eerie voice that seemed to have come on the wind, to tickle her ear fur. The voice was familiar, belonging to an older StarClan cat she knew very well, and once again, she was brought to thinking back to that dreaded night of leaving. Subconsciously, her paws carried her to a narrow river. Since that night she had gotten no more nightly visitations from the cats, which she hoped meant that she was on the right path.

Her task given to her by StarClan was to create a new Clan which she would mold herself. However, she had great doubts, as well as little faith that StarClan was giving her this task simply as a reward as they had told her- it just wasn't that simple. Sure, she had been excited at first, but now, she had little faith in the dead cats who had woven her path without her consent.

Sighing she bent down to take a drink, noticing three twinkling stars reflecting in the water, as if on cue reminding her of her mission. She stared up at them, eyes hard. "It will all be over soon... It better be," she muttered under her breath.
